Marriene Langton Principal/Tumuaki
Tēnā koutou e te whanau. This is my 16th year as tumuaki of our lovely kura. I am one-eyed when it comes to providing the very best education for all of our tamariki, strong connections to whanau and applying attachment theory so every child has a champion adult at our school who believes in them unconditionally. I just can’t see past it. Our kaiako and kaiawhina go the extra 50 miles to give our children the best chances to succeed. My family is number one. After 20 years of camping holidays in Kaiteriteri, Graham and I are recidivist “glampers “ and ready for new adventures in our latest caravan. It’s brilliant when our family joins us too.

Student Leaders' Breakfast

Our teachers decided to say thank you to the Student Leaders by cooking them a special breakfast. There were fresh waffles, bananas, peaches, bacon, yoghurt and maple syrup. The children drank hot chocolate and we settled for a cuppa.
Student Leaders have a lot to learn about responsible leadership and it is never easy. Our children have taken the learning on Board and are growing into the role. They are lovely children who try to take the role seriously. Thanks kids.

 
















 
 

Green Screen ICT extension group

David Duckworth from Stoic Films has been working with our children to provide  ICT experiences very similar to those at Capital E. They get to use cameras, screens and auto cues so they can make their own news and weather programmes.
He is so patient with the children and gives lots of challenges and directions for great camera angles, the rostrum camera and editing.
This is a very generous use of his time and talent.
Our children do get exceptional learning opportunities.
